Don't fall into the handfeeding thing (bad habit). It's fine to hand them a couple bites, but if they ONLY want to take it from your hand, that is a problem! Iguanas can get spoiled that way. I usually wait until Sleestack has finished all he plans to eat, then hand feed him to coax him into eating some things he left behind or couldn't grab on his own-- darn slippery fruit!

Anyway, maybe try using a paper plate for a couple days or moving the bowl. You'll have to experiment to see why this sudden change in eating habits....and hopefully you'll get her back to some kind of routine on her own. Good luck.
